Creekside Church Family Camp

Our family headed up for the day to Rollins Lake and Greenhorn Campground near Colfax on Saturday, June 22 to be with our Church Family at Family Camp.  We got there about 2:30 p.m. to enjoy some beach time.  Since we are just about two weeks out to see Baby Girl, we figured camping this year would not be ideal and this was probably our best option. 


We first headed over to Rollins Lake for mainly some sand fun.  The weather was unseasonably cool this weekend.  Some of the kids did brave the lake, but then quickly wanted to hang out in towels to dry off.

 Evan enjoyed building this battle station with his friends.  Here he is pictured with Wesley.

Evie and I posing with the ladies (Bethany, Sarah, and Ryel on Pam's lap passed out asleep).  Evie had fun playing in the sand too, but did get a bit chilly and needed to cuddle in a towel.

Then after our church did a Baptism Service down at the lake about 4:30 p.m.  Then we headed back to the campground.  Evan couldn't wait to get over there and ride his bike.  The campground has the perfect area for kids to just ride and be free.  It is great for parents too as there is only one way in.  Evan got to show off his no training wheel bike skills too.  We were very proud and all his friends were super impressed!  Way to go little buddy! :)

Evie was able to get in on the bike fun too.  Here legs are almost reaching the pedals these days.  However, she mainly just scoots around using her feet and is okay with that.

After the bike fun, our Church family all enjoyed a delicious BBQ Chicken and potluck dinner at about 5:30 p.m.  Followed by a Saturday night church service at 6:30 p.m.

The evening concluded with some silly skits (which we just got to watch and enjoy this year) and some fun with glow sticks (thanks to our good buds the Urieff Family).

Also, we can't forget the special s'mores treats.  However, this year our family didn't actually end up roasting any marshmallows on the fire we just ate the ingredients separately.  We didn't have any skewers and probably could have borrowed them, but no one seemed to really notice the difference and the mess was much easier to clean up. :)  

Oh yes, and we can't forget to mention Evan feel off the stage doing some crazy dance move after the skits were over and then also feel earlier that evening on his bike at one point and his handle bar totally banged up his check.  Good times, but he was tough and back in action pretty quickly after these incidents.
